Proprietary porous cryogel structure made from lignin or tannin bioproducts in the paper and agriculture industries, and doped sulfur byproduct from the petroleum industry into a superior Li-S cathode material, that is environmentally friendly and nickel and cobalt-free.
Superior Battery Materials using Low Cost, US Made, Sustainable Byproducts
“A focus on sustainability. Batteries are a major tool in the challenge to decarbonize the mobility sector and other industries – a task that is essential to avoid triggering irreversible climate tipping points.
The battery revolution could reduce cumulative greenhouse-gas emissions by up to 70 GtCO2e between 2021 and 2050 in the road transport sector alone.
However, the battery industry will need to prioritize the decarbonization of its own industry to maintain it’s credibility”
